Study Abroad

Parent Information

Dear Parents,

Thank you for considering your student’s request to study abroad
while at Mount Saint Mary College. We are excited that your student
has taken the first steps toward becoming a more global citizen and
learner. Studying abroad is a profound experience, and most
students return home from their experience “changed” and having had
a “completely transformative” experience.

It is the goal of the Office of International Programs to make
sure that you and your student are well informed, prepared, and
supported before, during, and after their time abroad. We will make
this opportunity academically and personally fulfilling, so that
your student can experience the unparalleled opportunities that
come with living and learning in a foreign country.

We are very much aware that your concerns about study abroad may
vary from your student’s. Rest assured that we will communicate all
the needed information to you if you desire and are happy to have
an open dialogue about your concerns as well as your
excitement!

Best Wishes,

Emily Marmo
Director of International Programs
Mount Saint Mary College
